Hi there, Last week, Team PWC celebrated the 200th week and today we are presenting 600th edition. Kudos to all the editors, current and past for the care and affections. It feels nice to be associated with such a popular events. I would also like to thank all the die hard fans of the Perl Weekly Newsletter for their support and constructive suggestions from time to time. It really helps me to focus on things important to the readers. I know it is not easy to do this every week but the love and affection we get works like a magic. I remember there was time when blogging was the only source of information but now a days we have plenty of platforms where you get usefull informations. You know what I mean and where you can catch us. I love having 2-ways dicussion on any topics related to Perl. It is something I always encourage if you have spare time. I have seen how young blood getting involved in so many exciting things about Perl, for example on Telegram. Although I don't get time to take part in the discussion but I do watch how the discussion follow through. I have senior member of Perl Community helping young blood with their experiences. It would be unfair to name few here. You know who I am talking about. I salute to all those who keep Perl alive. If you have any ideas/suggestions then please do share with us. I would to hear your point of views. Enjoy the rest of the newsletter till then. Mohammad Sajid Anwar |

by Mohammad Sajid Anwar (MANWAR) Enjoy a quick recap of last week's contributions by Team PWC dealing with the "Arithmetic Slices" and "Seven Segment 200" tasks in Perl and Raku. You will find plenty of solutions to keep you busy. |
|
|
by Arne Sommer The verbose version of solution is worth checking. Keep it up great work. |
|
by Colin Crain The background story of task is something you don't want to miss it. I loved it. Thank you Colin. |
|
by Dave Jacoby (JACOBY) Loop is the flavour of the week. Complicated solutions can be solved using simple loops. Well done. | 
|
|
by David Ferrone Nice to know how Perl and Raku behave differently at times. Thanks for sharing your experience. |
|
by Flavio Poletti (POLETTIX) No question from Flavio this week. Straight to the solution in Perl and Raku. Thank you. |

|
by James Smith We missed the performance stats this week. Never mind, we still have top notch solution. |
|
by Laurent Rosenfeld Plenty of demo makes it crystal clear how the code works. Cool attempt. Keep it up. |
|
by Luca Ferrari Easy route picked up by Luca, still not a bad attempt. Thanks for your contributions. |

|
by Peter Campbell Smith The simplest solution yet very compact. I am impressed. Well done. |

The corner of Gabor
A couple of entries sneaked in by Gabor.

by Gabor Szabo (SZABGAB) At a client where I work we have a pretty big folder with quite a few files. Trying the list the first few files was an issue with ls and thus I wrote a short one-liner. Then shortened it. I wrote an article about it. Then Aristotle further improved it. It's all there in the blog post. |

The client is interested in anyone with experience building web apps in Perl, using one of the major Perl frameworks. If you’re a crack-hand with Catalyst, a Mojolicious master, or a distinguished Dancer, they want you. You’ll be deploying apps your work to AWS, so experience would be handy, and the company’s big on testing, so they’d like you to know your way around Test::More. |
|
Offices are located within Dubai, Malta, and Malaysia so if you’re in one of those places, you’re one step closer to where you need to be. Hanging out in Honolulu? Not to worry. For the right person, they’ve got a work-sponsored visa and relocation package — if you’ve got the expertise and an adventurous spirit, they’ve got the will and means to get you where you need to be. |
|
If you’re a Modern Perl developer in the UK with Go-lang experience (or at least a strong desire to learn) and you’re searching for a team of dynamos, we’ve found the perfect place for you. This award-winning company may be newer, but the combined experience of their people is impressive. No doubt this is one of the many reasons their AI recruitment marketing business has taken off! |
